Archetype: Full Moons are associated with The Mother. She nurtures your intentions/goals from The New Moon, gathers together with others and helps you celebrate your achievements. Your goals/intentions may have reached fruition and just require some maintenance going forward.
Alternatively you can reflect on how close you are to seeing the results you would like to see, reflect on where to spend more energy and where not to. Energy levels are typically highest here, as the Full Moon is the peak of the lunar cycle.
Sign: Capricorn is the yin (feminine, reflective, internally focused) earth sign of the zodiac. Capricorn leads you in work, ambition and your hard-earned/smartly worked success. She is ruled by Saturn - the planet of discipline, structure, integrity, restrictions, delays, growth and purpose. Saturn rules the knees, spine, teeth, hair and nails in medical astrology.
Capricorn persons are serious, sensible, hard-working, leaders and grounded.
Low road traits of Capricorn can be being stingy, a crook, manipulative or having an attitude of “the ends justify the means.”
Learning to be humble, assuming the role of the teacher, imbuing timeless wisdom, and serving the collective are the high road traits of Capricorn. Capricorn energy thrives on excellence.
Season: Capricorn starts the season of Winter in the solar year. Winter is a time that requires rest, motivation and commitment. Just like the animals and trees conserve energy i.e. less leaves on trees, very little to no blooms and some animals hibernate or changing their breathing patterns; we too can focus on what truly matters, where to strive for success, where to place our time, energy and attention.
Element: earth is methodical, mellow, grounded, practical, slow to anger, and stable. It requires respect and balance of all things e.g. comfort, organisation & power.
So what is a Blue Moon? A Blue Moon is the 2nd Full Moon in the same sign. How is this possible? The 1st Capricorn Full Moon happened at 1 degree of Capricorn and this Full Moon is at the anaretic/final degree of Capricorn. What do you need to release to feel successful, to align fully with your purpose and to feel emotionally supported to whole-heartedly chase your ambitions? Can you release fear and anxiety and any limiting beliefs for your highest good?
Astro Insight: The Blue Moon asks you to revisit the themes of emotional safety & security, work-life balance, what success looks like, how to be an effective leader in work and at home and what integrity looks like for you.
In 2 days The Sun will move into Leo and bring you more courage to express yourself creatively, an invitation to step into your Queen/Kingdom and graciously allow yourself to be in the spotlight, to have fun, to let your inner exuberance shine outwardly, to be romantic, fun and playful.
As we wrap up Cancer season give yourself full permission to eat and drink with family/friends, cry your heart out at sad films, snuggle up with your pets, eat, drink and be merry.
This Full Moon is conjunct (next to) Pluto at 0 degrees Aquarius. This planet of transformation, passion, power, control, destruction, depths, shadow, death & rebirth. This is the end of an era a powerful opportunity for healing. How do you manage your time and transform your life to feel more passionate and alive? Sometimes it’s necessary to break down old structures, realise your own power rather than giving it away to authority figures in your life. What shadows or triggers are you ignoring?
Moving from water - the emotional, intuitive realm into fire of passion, creation, innovation & outwardly active energy is inspiring and can burn away any destruction or stuck energies. Can you feel it?
The fiery planet of Mars is now in Gemini, so your energies and motivations will most likely match your thoughts and communications. Perhaps you’ll move more quickly than you have for the last few months. Mars trine Pluto brings again power to birth/death/rebirth energies - the end of a cycle and beginning of a new one.
Mars is sextile The Sun bringing opportunities to talk about your feelings, to move out of insecurities, to make connections with others.
Saturn (retrograde) in Pisces is allowing you to reconnect to spiritual practices that support your growth and any progress you are making.
Mercury in Leo is square Uranus in Taurus. Your thoughts and communication can be impulsive, eccentric & creative individuality can expressed beautifully.
The Sun is trine Neptune at 29 degrees of Pisces. How are your dreams? Are you meditating, journaling, getting blissfully lost in your imagination via films, poetry, photography, romantic pursuits, a good book or dancing?
Venus in Leo is sextile Jupiter in Gemini. This invites you to place value in your courage, your inner strength, wear your favourite clothes, style your hair, make space to play/create something and listen to your heart. Why not go out somewhere: a party, a meal out or spend time with friends.
